Vanguard's weapons

[Jaged]

Look at this pic. (http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/viewer.php?img_id=244
)

It shure looks like it has two 20mm cannons. But in the paragraph on the Vanguard on the official site it says it only has one. im confused.

The Vanguard is the main battle tank of the New Conglomerate. Generally well balanced, the Vanguard brings decent speed, solid armor, and hefty firepower to the field. The main turret, which houses both a 20mm and 150mm cannon, is capable of a 3600 pivot, giving the gunner complete attack coverage for the driver.

That is one machine gun with 2 barrells.

:stupid:

How is that different than 2 machine guns like on the TR tank?

[CDaws]

Some of the info like that is a bit outdated. That is the current pic of the Vanguard that will be in the game that I know of.

[Fire_Monkey]

...How do you not understand my post. There is ONE machine gun containing TWO barrells. And Dilluted was that directed at me or him.

[Jaged]

I just came across a pic of a vanguard with a large cannon looking think rather than the double barrled machine gun. Wich is the most recent?

Look at the Vangurd here. (http://www.planetside-universe.com/media/viewer.php?img_id=195)

[Fire_Monkey]

wow, weird. The other one is current. They must have removed the second large gun on it.

[diluted]

what the... impossible..

The picture of the Vanguard with two large guns is amusing. It's not exactly pretty, I wonder what they were thinking... Anyway, it's already the most powerful gun in the game, do we really need TWO of them on one tank? Yes, we do=)

The one currently in the game is the secound one with the two large guns. The Vangaurd originaly had the 20mm's seen in the earlyer pictures of it, but to put it more inline with the other NC weapons and vehicles the 20mm's were replaced with another large gun, enabling it be devistating against slower targets such as MAX's and other vehicles, but it suffers from a pretty slow fire rate and the fact that its big ole cannons are near useless against aircraft and faster infantry at a range (but you can just run those little buggers over)

I think the pic with 2 cannons is an old version of the Vanguard, there was a thred posted about this a month ago, I tried to look it up and get SJ's or Hamma's quote but I couldn't find em.

[RaccoonOfEvil]

I've never seen that 2 cannon vanguard before. It looks wierd. Probably an old version.

[Tobias]

The one with the two big guns is recent, look at the galaxy, it has 20mm's not 75mms. Look at the Vanguard in the vehicle section of planetside.com , its an old arse picture, and it has the machine guns.

Tobias: Lotsa points
People who argue with him: Less points then Tobias.

[Jaged]

Hey, that's odd. look at the galaxy in the pic here (http://planetside.station.sony.com/screenshots/galaxy2.jpg). It has much larger guns than in the other pic. Wich is most recent here?

Dave G already confirmed that the Vanguard with the 2 cannons is what it use to be but has since then been changed to the single cannon with the dual gun beside it.

So same tank but different point in time dureing development. the single cannon is the newer one.
The newer pics are the ones where the vangaurd has two small guns to the left of the big cannon. This (http://www.planetside-universe.com/image.php?picid=Armada&filetype=jpg) and this (http://www.planetside-universe.com/image.php?picid=grasslands&filetype=jpg) are the older shots of the vangaurd.

Galaxy's have 20mm's, I believe.

[Jaged]

I posted this on the official fourms hoping to get some good answers. My post can be found here. (http://boards.station.sony.com/ubb/planetside/Forum2/HTML/002849.html)

[Jaged]

I hope the galaxy has the bigger guns. THe smaller ones look gay.

[KeviN]

I think the 75mm's look a bit off. They seem a little big for the wingtips, the small guns fit in nicely. :p

[Tobias]

Oks, i might be wrong....

[KeviN]

People who argue with Tobias: More points than last time.
CHA-CHING! :cool:

[Tobias]

Curse's!

[SandTrout]

They decided against the dual 75mm in favor of 3 20mm because they are suposed to be for protecting against infantry, not as a roveing anti-tank platform.

[firecrackerNC]

Ok i know Vanguards got the best gun but does it got best range?And how bout TR what mm guns they got,Is Vanu tank really as weak as it looks? Just some questions i need answered

[SleightOfHand]

kk, time to clear up the confusion.

I asked about this a month or two back.

The Vanguard with two main guns never actually worked in game like it had two main guns. The second main gun was a placeholder for the machine guns.

The smaller guns on the Galaxy are correct.

Aye they are now 20mm Chainguns, and it now has one on its arse to cover one of its blind spots. They do look a bit tiny.
